Nice to see this 'oldie but goodie' pop out again. Although it's not a 'must get' coin, it is the only circulated Franklin still on my want list.
As mentioned, quite a common coin. There's almost always one or two for sale at the local coin shop, but the slight price increase always has me put it on my back-burner.

I'm supposed to met up with Tony for burger and beers in LI (once Covid is over). I would invite you but you might "bully" me into getting Franklins

Not sure there is really much difference in the "beauty" of the Franklin design versus every other coin design consisting of an old dude's floating head. Heck, with Ikes you get even more of just an old bald floating head.

Ikes are definitely up there in the ugly department. But to me the Ben's are ugliest. Ike's at least have a nice reverse. The moon and eagle are awesome. Ben's are ugly Obverse and Reverse.

To me looks like Kennedy and Barber Liberty are googly eyeing each other. He is looking through Ben not at him
